RESEARCH TRACK

The MSc & PhD in Administration include four tracks of research: 

Behavioral Sciences and Decision Making

This research track seeks to understand how individuals make decisions in businesses and government. Research addresses topics such as consumer behavior, financial behavior, and the behavior of managers and workers in organizations. 

Strategy, Management, and Organizations

It focuses on understanding management phenomena in organizations, both in the public sector and corporate management, including topics such as organizational theory, competitive strategy, internationalization, governance and control, organizational culture, and management processes. 

Finance

This track covers a range of courses that provide an in-depth study of fundamental issues in corporate finance, asset valuation, banking, accounting, and financial decision-making. 

Institutions, Politics, and Government

This research track encompasses the study of political institutions, public policy, and government from a comparative perspective, addressing a fundamental question: “How and when do political institutions affect results related to government, policy formulation, and public policies?”. Theoretical and methodological tools of comparative political economy are used to investigate the functioning of institutions and political systems, the process of policy formulation, and their effect on public policies and economic performance. 

Each student must follow a specific track and attend elective courses from the other tracks.
